Located in Gion with no parking lot, Nigiri is a traditional Japanese confectionery shop known for its popular items like pudding and daifuku that are sure to appeal to women. This time, I purchased their "Soyakate" dorayaki. The use of brown sugar in the outer layer adds depth to the red bean paste filling. The brown sugar pairs well with the whipped cream, and the texture of the outer layer and the way brown sugar is used are elegant and delicious. Each dorayaki costs around 200 yen, so it's worth buying in bulk. They also offer an apple butter and white bean paste dorayaki. Thank you for the meal.

Fruitful Fortune "King's Strawberry Fortune" is a popular item of fruit daifuku. The strawberry is sweet and sour, and goes well with the white bean paste inside. It also contains whipped cream. There are both refrigerated and frozen types available, but it needs to be refrigerated. For the frozen type, do not fully thaw it and enjoy the fruit inside as a sherbet for a different taste experience.

This time, my husband chose "Soyakate" from Ninniku-san as a souvenir for his workplace. The package was very nice, and I was attracted to the fact that they use brown sugar in the dorayaki skin. We were able to purchase 16 pieces individually to avoid bulky packaging, and they were placed in a paper bag. I also got one separately to enjoy on the Shinkansen. The bag had a lovely design with a turtle illustration and elegant lettering of the product name. When you open the high-quality bag, you can smell the gentle aroma of brown sugar. The dorayaki was soft and moist, with a grainy red bean paste filling. My husband and I both enjoyed it, and he was pleased with the find as a good souvenir for the workplace. The price of 170 yen per piece is reasonable, making it a great option for bulk souvenirs. Thank you for the meal!

After seeing the poster for strawberry daifuku outside the store, I was tempted to visit and ended up trying "Ninoki Gion Honten." [Today's Order] - King's Strawberry Fuku ¥399 The King's Strawberry Fuku, as featured on the poster, is exactly what I ordered. It consists of white bean paste, whipped cream, and seasonal strawberries. In July, they may be using "Natsumizuki" strawberries. The subtle sweetness of the white bean paste and whipped cream, paired with the sweetness and acidity of the strawberries, creates a refreshing daifuku. The juiciness of the strawberries adds to its appeal. I couldn't capture a good photo, but the taste was really delicious. It's a bit pricey, but worth it (laughs). Thank you for the meal!

Chiba Sogo's depachika is offering limited-time Kyoto Gion wagashi. It's a delight to be able to enjoy traditional Japanese sweets from Gion in Kyoto. The appearance is visually appealing for women, with daifuku filled with fruit. The whipped cream is not too sweet, but elegant, and has a rich flavor with a smooth texture. The daifuku contains plump strawberries, grapes, chestnuts, bananas, and blueberries, providing a delightful taste of the fruits' textures. Despite the soft mochi outer layer, it wraps around the filling securely. I personally give it a 5-star rating for its deliciousness. The Watermelon Fuku has a crispy texture that is also very delicious. I definitely want to try it again.

I received a gift from a friend, "Fruits of Happiness" with strawberry and white bean paste, which had just the right amount of sweetness and a good balance of acidity and sweetness. It was delicious. It is also available at Kyoto Daimaru, so after receiving it from my friend, I started buying it myself.

I love the Fruit Daifuku shop, especially the Ninkigi-san♡ This time, I bought it at Daimaru Kyoto store. I was looking for the limited edition chocolates sold until Valentine's Day, Chocola Amore and Chocola Marron. Chocola Amore has chocolate cream and Amaou strawberries inside a chocolate mochi, while Chocola Marron has chestnuts. Both are incredibly delicious with the perfect combination of chocolate and mochi♡ I wish they were sold for a longer period than just Valentine's season. I will definitely come back next year♡

They renovated and the pudding was different! It seemed bigger! They mentioned something about the previous owner starting their own business so it's different now... or maybe they didn't. I'm always drunk when I go there so I don't remember the prices, but the pudding had a satisfying texture! The strawberry one was especially good. In my opinion!

Wow, it looks delicious! I tried the Fruit Daifuku from a confectionery called Ninkin. The visual presentation is impressive. I made a mistake in cutting the orange daifuku, but the combination of white bean paste and the citrus flavor is great. The orange inside is really good. It's a luxurious daifuku, but I wish it had a creamier texture instead of the firm white bean paste. The ripe fruit and sweet white bean paste make it satisfying with just one piece, although depending on the timing, you might not be able to stop at just one. It needs to be refrigerated, so it might be a bit challenging to bring it back as a souvenir. It takes good taste to choose this over a regular daifuku or dorayaki at the store.

Recently, I often see products like fruit-filled items or fruit-themed items, with fruit sandwiches being particularly popular. They are sold at train station kiosks, as well as featured in department stores and events. Despite the relatively high prices, these items sell like hotcakes. This time, I bought a popular fruit daifuku from a store in Gion called Nigino Satellite. They offer daifuku filled with seasonal fruits like muscat grapes, chestnuts, and oranges, as well as a mixed fruit version called "Gion Pochiri." The unique feature of this daifuku is the thin and soft mochi wrapping that holds a generous amount of bean paste and fruits. When you bite into it, the mochi easily tears, allowing the sweetness of the bean paste and fruits to spread throughout your mouth. The combination of mochi, bean paste, and fruits may seem unusual at first, but when presented in this way, it becomes a delicious treat. Priced at 464 yen each, it may seem slightly expensive compared to regular daifuku, but considering the abundance of fruits inside, it's actually a good deal.

<About the Shop> A new fruit daifuku specialty store launched by Ninkinoki Co., Ltd., which operates the traditional Japanese confectionery shop Ninkinoki with its main store in Kyoto Gion and Kitchin Nigiri at highway rest areas. The store changed its business model from a pudding specialty store, "Gion Pudding Workshop," which opened at the end of 2009. <Products> Purchased at the "2nd Naniwa Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe Taste Tour" held at Keisei Department Store in Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture from June 2nd to June 8th, 2021. - "Fruits of Fortune: King Strawberry Fortune - Aporo Berry (white bean paste & whipped cream)"... 400 yen tax included - "Fruits of Fortune: Pineapple Fortune"... 389 yen tax included Both daifuku are approximately 5cm in diameter, 4.2cm in height, and weigh around 89g (strawberry) and 91g (pineapple). The strawberry daifuku uses large ripe strawberries with white bean paste and whipped cream, while the pineapple daifuku features Taiwanese pineapples and white bean paste. The strawberries are sweet with low acidity, wrapped in a fluffy mochi dough, making for a delicious treat. The Taiwanese pineapples used in the pineapple daifuku are juicy, sweet, and soft, blending well with the white bean paste and mochi dough. It is recommended to try these unique and tasty fruit daifuku.

Located in Gion, Kyoto, near Yasaka Shrine, the main store of Kyoto Gion "Ninboku" offers famous souvenirs such as "Gion pudding" and "brown sugar dorayaki". For a limited time, they have a branch at Tokyo Station offering "Fruitful Luck", a daifuku with plenty of fruits. Everything looks delicious. As a fan of whipped cream, I chose the strawberry and whipped cream daifuku. The cream wrapped around the sweet and sour strawberry was delightful. I would recommend the whipped cream in particular. Perhaps a bit more cream would make it even better.

Apollo Berry Whip for 400 yen. Amao Red Bean for 400 yen. Mango for 410 yen. Red bean dorayaki for 194 yen. Black bean dorayaki for 162 yen. The mango was in the form of frozen jelly. Both the whip cream and red bean were quite sweet. The Amao Red Bean was a large size, which was good. The red bean and black bean dorayaki were quite sweet but fluffy and delicious.

I had takeout for lunch. It was a delicious pudding. There were many options, but I chose plain. It was soft, smooth, and tasty. It seems like there are about 5 other flavors available. I think I'll try a different one next time. Plain is definitely delicious!

I usually choose fruits, but I decided to try the "Adult Chestnut Fortune" this time. The brandy aroma wasn't too strong, and the chestnut was delicious. It seemed to be overshadowed by the deliciousness of the sweet bean paste and whipped cream. I wanted to just eat the chestnut by itself. Laugh. After all, fruits like persimmons and pears are juicier and seem to go better with whipped cream, white bean paste, and sweet bean paste. The Shine Muscat fruit inside was a bit small, so when holding it, the whipped cream was a bit mushy.

I bought the King Strawberry Daifuku for 378 yen and the Luxurious Greedy Daifuku for 399 yen to go at Ninkin, famous for its fruit daifuku. Ninkin's daifuku is known for its delicious fruits, but the smooth, stretchy mochi and the perfect balance of white bean paste on the outside are what make it so delicious!

I had a snack at a shop in Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. It was delicious! Blueberry daifuku with large juicy blueberries, refreshing blueberry yogurt mousse, and soft mochi wrapped in whipped cream. It was a generous portion and very tasty. Thank you for the meal! ❤️

I visited the shop "Ninoki Gion Honten" located in the Gion Shijo Rakuen Koji, which specializes in pudding and daifuku. It used to be known as "Gion Pudding Factory" but has since changed its name. When I asked for the best food choice, I was recommended the seasonal fruit daifuku with either blueberry or mango.
